Interior as new.; "Yoshio Suzuki is well qualified to write on this subject, as he is director of the Bank of Japan's Institute for Monetary and Economic Studies. He has been personally involved in the activities about which he writes, and he knows many of the actors. Much of the book will be of special interest to mathematicians, economists, and bankers. The work also treats several topics of more general interest. Suzuki explains why Japan has built up such extremely high foreign trade surpluses, stating: "Postwar economic policy was constructed with investment/export-led growth as its strategic objective. The important elements in the policy were trade and foreign exchange management, protection of industry, and tax treatment favoring saving and investment." review by Howard F.
